In today's seminar from the Churches That Change Communities conference in Liverpool, Lauren Windle explores the challenges faced by those living in poverty and asks: how can the Church respond? From health disparities to education gaps, from postcode lotteries to the poverty premium, the odds are stacked against those who have the least. But there’s hope. Lauren challenges unto consider how churches can not only support and welcome individuals facing these issues but also work to push back against the systems that perpetuate inequality.
Lauren Windle is a journalist, public speaker, and author of two brilliant books:
- Notes on Feminism: Being a Woman in a Church Led by Men
- Notes on Love: Being Single and Dating in a Marriage-Obsessed Church
Lauren is also celebrating a decade of sobriety from alcohol and drugs.
Lauren also mentions Natalie William and Paul Brown's excellent book Invisible Divides.
